The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Tense investigation with a film-noir atmosphere and a ticking clock pressure.

What players say

Players praise the film-noir setting, jazz music, and pixel art, but many find the puzzle logic chaotic and rely on a guide. Some complain about carrying excessive inventory items, and there is only one ending. Opinions split on the price, with several calling it too expensive for what it offers.
